Chapter 63 The First Time? A Combination of Rewards and Punishments
After greeting them, Feng Hua Nu Tao rushed out at top speed.
Yuan Tuoye watched his figure. He had calculated the distance, and at the other party's speed, three days was actually a bit rushed.
But what he wanted was for the other party to be in a hurry.
If Feng Hua Nu Tao doesn't return within three days, then he will truly kill the other party.
Although his primary target here was him, but—
Since he had already said those words in front of the three Snow Ninja, it would seem that he was being too soft-hearted if he didn't kill them.
If what is said is not carried out, will what he says in the future still have any power?
Therefore, while Feng Hua Nu Tao's death would indeed cause a lot of trouble, it's not indispensable. He could also choose to support Langya Xue Beng.
"It's getting late, please arrange a room for me," Yuan Tuoye said.
"Yes! The largest room in our Snow Village is empty. Fubuki, you can take the master to rest." Wolf Fang Avalanche said after thinking for a while, while exchanging glances with Crane Wing Fubuki as he spoke.
Crane Wing Snowflake was stunned for a moment, then her face instantly turned red as she understood the meaning of Wolf Fang Avalanche.
Yuan Tuoye glanced at Langya Xue Beng and saw the other party's ingratiating smile. He naturally knew what the other party was thinking, but he did not refuse.
First, Crane Wing Snow is indeed quite beautiful.
Secondly, he wasn't a eunuch, so naturally he had needs in that area.
In the end, he was never a gentleman.
The reason he hadn't considered finding a wife was because he couldn't reveal his physical secret to anyone, and the role of a wife would be a hassle for him.
But people like Crane Wing Blizzard are different; she's now considered his subordinate.
Therefore, he doesn't need to consider the other party's opinion; he can simply make sure the other party can't see it at that time.
But you can call it romance the first time with your wife, but what about many times? If the other person is perceptive, they might discover something.
Therefore, he will not consider finding a partner until his body returns to normal.
(Couldn't find a clear picture, so this will have to do. The other person wasn't as old as in the picture at this time, wasn't the female lead, and didn't have many scenes.)
Wolf Fang Avalanche and Winter Bear Freezing Rain watched Crane Wing Snow and Gen Takuno leave, and a satisfied smile appeared on their faces. Now, they had accepted their fate and would probably work for each other for the rest of their lives.
Since that's the case, then we need to please the other party. The fact that the other party didn't reject Tsurugi Fubuki is a very good sign.
What they fear most is a leader who is capricious and unyielding.
The afternoon of the third day.
It was the same conference room, and Yuan Tuoye was sitting there sipping tea, just like two days ago.
Below, only the three Snow Ninjas were present, but not Fuuka Nutō. However, their positions had subtly changed, with Tsurugi Fuuka now sitting at the very front, closest to Genji Takuno.
Yuan Tuoye watched this scene without saying anything, tacitly accepting the arrangement.
At this moment, they were all waiting for the wind and waves to subside.
"Do you think he'll be able to come back within the stipulated time? And will he come back alone?" Yuan Tuoye asked.
"My lord, I'm not sure if Feng Hua Nu Tao will return on time, but if he does, he will definitely be alone," said Langya Xue Beng.
"Oh?" Yuan Tuoye looked at Langya Avalanche.
"Feng Hua Nu Tao is extremely afraid of death, so he would never gamble with his own life," Lang Ya Xue Beng asserted.
"Clinging to life and fearing death? Ha, how many people in this world are not afraid of death? Even if someone says they are not afraid of death while they are alive, they will still be afraid of death when it comes to their own death." Yuan Tuoye said with a slightly sarcastic tone.
"What you say is true, sir." Wolf Fang Avalanche did not refute it, because it was the truth. If one could live, who would want to die?
Yuan Tuoye didn't say anything more and went to the window to look at the snow scene in the distance.
As he himself said, he had no concept of death; coming into this world was just a matter of closing and opening his eyes, so—
Until the very moment of his death, he was unsure whether he could face it.
But one thing he was certain of was that he would not stop doing something just because there was a risk of death.
Just like when he used the Oni-Garuru Technique to fuse with the Uzumaki bloodline, he became involved in the Nohara Rin Three-Tails incident.
He later participated in the incident of Yahiko's death and made the choice to take action even though he knew that Obito Uchiha was watching from the shadows.
Didn't he know that the bread inside posed a risk that could kill him?
Despite all the preparations, the risk of death still exists.
He still got involved because he knew that he had to do these things if he wanted to continue to become stronger.
Because he knew that relying solely on the Ghost Sprout Technique was far from enough; he needed to gather other resources to make himself stronger.
Some might think it's better to first study the Ghost Sprout Technique and fuse with the five corpses to develop stealthily, and then do something more after the fusion is complete.
But the problem is, even if he really manages to fuse five of the bloodlines he wants, how long would that take?
The risks he would have faced to obtain these things back then were far greater than they are now.
Back then, he had to deal with Nagato, who had already mastered the Six Paths of Pain, and Obito Uchiha, who possessed Kamui and whose ninjutsu and taijutsu were honed over time.
Are they beings he can deal with simply by fusing five bloodlines? Can he become a Super Shadow level being by fusing five bloodlines?
Even if someone is at the Kage level, are they absolutely certain they can defeat Nagato at his peak and Obito Uchiha?
Therefore, opportunities are very short-lived. Never think that if you miss this opportunity, you can find another one. Once you miss it, you miss it. You may never have a second chance in your life.
This is why he had to make a move before he had fully matured!
While pondering, Yuan Tuoye also walked back to the top seat and sat down.
"Please sit down, everyone. Feng Hua Nu Tao is back," Yuan Tuoye said.
"yes!"
The three Snow Ninjas had no doubt about what Minamoto Takuno said; when Minamoto Takuno stood up earlier, they stood up as well.
Soon, a figure who seemed to have lost all his strength pushed open the conference room door and walked in.
He was none other than Feng Hua Nu Tao.
His behavior reveals what answer he received from Fuuka Hayase.
Yuan Tuoye couldn't help but chuckle. It would have been more interesting if the time had been extended, and if he had waited until Yuan Tuoye had killed his own brother before letting him know about it.
Unfortunately, that timeframe is too far in the future, probably several more years away, and he can't wait that long.
"Tell us about it, let us have a good laugh."
Yuan Tuoye said jokingly, and the three Snow Ninjas also smiled.
Faced with Yuan Tuoye's teasing, Feng Hua Nutao could only give a bitter smile, neither daring to be angry nor daring to speak.
After a wry smile, he still began to speak as Yuan Tuoye had instructed.
After returning to the Daimyo's mansion in the Land of Snow, he found Kazahana Hayate and directly asked her if the legendary treasure was underfloor heating.
It wasn't that he wanted to be so direct, but with only three days, he simply couldn't ask in a more tactful way.
Fuuhou Naoto remembered that Fuuhou Sōyuki had also been stunned for a moment after hearing his words, and then couldn't help but ask directly, "How did you know?"
Feng Hua Zao Xue may not know how much trauma his words caused Feng Hua Nu Tao.
The legendary treasure, underfloor heating?
It's amazing that he was able to connect the two!
Feng Hua Nu Tao was extremely angry. He immediately questioned Feng Hua Zao Xue in a loud voice, "How can a broken floor heating system be called a legendary treasure?"
Feng Hua Zao Xue wasn't surprised by Feng Hua Nu Tao's reaction; she simply explained the function of underfloor heating to him in a gentle voice.
But clearly, Feng Hua Nu Tao is not someone who can be easily persuaded; just like now, he is still roaring angrily.
"What's the point of this lousy underfloor heating system?!"
People's livelihood? What does people's livelihood have to do with him?
Yuan Tuoye smiled at Feng Hua Nutao's reaction. That's the difference. People like Feng Hua Nutao don't care about these things, nor can they understand them.
But isn't what he wanted precisely that the other party didn't care about people's livelihood?
If he doesn't even care about his own people, why would he care about experimental subjects who have even less to do with him?
"Alright, sit down." After Yuan Tuoye finished laughing, he let the other person sit down.
At this moment, Feng Hua Nu Tao also breathed a sigh of relief. He had finally returned within the stipulated time. He had never traveled so fast in his life. He had traveled day and night.
After sitting down, he quickly noticed that the seating arrangement seemed a bit off.
Then, he looked at Wolf Fang Avalanche, who was still laughing uncontrollably, and cursed the old fox in his heart.
Crane Wing Fubuki is almost of the other person's daughter's generation, yet—he actually beat her to it!
At this moment, Feng Hua Nu Tao's mind also became active.
After learning that the legendary treasure that Fuuka Satsuki had been hiding was really just underfloor heating, he completely abandoned that last glimmer of hope.
Right now, all he wants to do is to please Yuan Tuoye so that the other party won't use that so-called Life and Death Talisman.
Yuan Tuoye was unaware that Feng Hua Nutao was thinking about how to please him.
At this moment, he was also pondering. He had displayed strength vastly different from theirs, and had essentially eliminated their hope of escape. Now—
Only one step remains.
Simply applying pressure is not enough; a combination of rewards and punishments is the best approach.
"Wind, flowers, raging waves."
"Yes!" Feng Hua Nu Tao jumped up, a little afraid that the other party would ask him to do something again.
"Do you want to become stronger?" Yuan Tuoye looked at Feng Hua Nutao with a hint of amusement.
Suddenly, Feng Hua Nu Tao froze, then his eyes slowly brightened as he looked at Yuan Tuo Ye and said, "I want to..."
I think!"
"Hehe, instead of coveting that underfloor heating system, you might as well work for me. I have a way to make you stronger," Yuan Tuoye chuckled again.
Feng Hua Nu Tao's face fell immediately. So, the underfloor heating issue is not going to be resolved?
After hearing what followed, he seemed to come alive, staring intently at Yuan Tuoye, his longing evident in his eyes.
On the other side, the three Snow Ninja also hoped to become stronger.
Yuan Tuoye casually tossed four stones, which were still emitting a bluish-green light like life energy, onto the table.
These are all Grellstones. There are plenty of them at the Grellstone mines, so there's no need to worry about wasting them.
The four stared at the Grell Stones before them, reached out their hands, and carefully picked up one each.
Upon touching it, they were all jolted, as a comfortable energy flowed into their bodies from the Grell Stone, seemingly improving their physical condition.
"This is!" Wolf Fang Avalanche exclaimed in surprise, for he naturally had an incurable hidden injury in his body.
But at this moment, he could clearly feel that his old ailments were slowly recovering.
At this moment, he stared at the Grell Stone in his hand, his gaze growing increasingly intense.
Although the others did not have the same feeling as the Wolf Fang Avalanche, they also knew that this rock was definitely a rare treasure!
"Its name is Grell's Stone," Gen Takuno said.
"Grell's Stone!" The four of them kept repeating the name; none of them had ever heard of it.
"It can strengthen your physique and also has certain offensive capabilities. If used skillfully, its power is quite good," Yuan Tuoye said casually.
They could all feel the power strengthening their bodies, but they hadn't expected it to have offensive capabilities.
The four of them looked at the Grell Stone in their hands with even greater fervor.
"However, you don't need to know how you use it to attack right now, and these attacks aren't yours yet." Yuan Tuoye glanced at the group. They wanted a reward without doing anything? Dream on.
Instantly, the four of them were like wilted eggplants, completely deflated despite the formidable power right in front of them.
They can't have it, which is really unbearable.
At this moment, Yuan Tuoye tapped the table, the meaning of which was self-evident.
The four looked reluctantly at the Grell Stone in their hands, but none of them dared not hand it over.
Even if its power is immense, it's completely useless if you don't have the life to use it.
After retrieving the four Grell Stones, Gen Takuno picked out the one that Tsurugi Fubuki had handed over and tossed it to her.
Crane Wing Snowflake was startled and hurriedly caught the Grell Stone, afraid that she might accidentally break it.
After catching the Grell Stone, Tsurugi Fubuki looked at Genji Takuno.
"My lord? Is this for me?"
"Yes, it's yours now," said Gen Takuno.
It wasn't just because he was relatively satisfied with the other person, but also because he wanted to set an example for the other three people.
Of course, they couldn't do the same thing as Crane Wing Snow, but they could do things for him.
"Thank you, sir!" Tsurugi Fubuki was overjoyed, but even after what had happened, she didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of Genji Takuno and said respectfully.
At this moment, the other three people were looking enviously at the Grell Stone in Tsurugi Fubuki's hand.
But even if they had ten times the courage, they wouldn't dare to steal the Grell Stone from the other party.
They were now certain that their superiors would indeed bestow such a treasure upon their subordinates, so the three of them stared at Yuan Tuoye, as if to say something.
"Sir, please give us your orders! We will do our best to complete them!"
